Please try not to name and shame people on the forums! Reporting in game is really still the best way to go :)

I've hidden all the posts (I think) where people have named accounts and I've also double checked all the false ban claims.

Thanks for all your help guys/girls :D

Still mountains of bots happily spinning away at Lumbridge spinning wheel. Brought it to your attention before but seems not much has been done. also I've spotted a few bots going in and out of Falador that seem to be training combat on cows. It's been over 2 months now come on Jagex get it together...

Coupled things I've noticed with the Seers' Village bots (there are more bots here than there are players):

Some of the random events aren't strong enough to combat them. I haven't seen them all but this is what I've noticed thus far.

-Strange Plant: Spam click it until it disappears. Doesn't matter whose it is they all gun straight for it.
-Tree Ent: Apparently that's detectable by the bots, they stop instantly. I'll assume a memory ID is read to detect that.
-Swarm and Tree Spirit: They run away to a pre-determined spot.
-Drunken Dwarf/Mysterious Man: Talk and hit 'click to continue' until gone.

I haven't seen a bot get hit by any other event and I've been woodcutting most of the day (though it is probably a coincidence of random events being random)

Hi,

I'm not 100% sure if this is the correct place or anything to ask for help about being 'Innocently Banned' and such but i'll ask just because.

One of my close friends about 2+ weeks ago now was banned for a '
minor macro
' however he never macroed and i'm sure of it because he's not stupid enough to do such a thing. He's currently going to be unbanned in approximately 4 days however I thought it'd be nice to try and help him get back online sooner since he was wrongfully banned. His username on the account he was banned on is '
Glenn_Rhee
'

He's always active on the game and is very active within Clan-Chats within the game and he's nearly maxed on the Live Game with over 2400 total level and many days played. It's obviously wrong to bot however he didn't in the first place because it would be unwise to macro on an account with several hundred game days of his own time and in general.

Just hoping that a
Jagex Moderator
comes across this post if this thread is still read upon, i'm not too sure really. But if it is please look into this situation if you can as this wasn't justified.

Lastly, for the players that did recieve that '
minor macro
' 20+ day ban or however long the period of time was, when they're unbanned after that period of time will their bank/stats be left how they were before the ban? I don't think it would be fair to half peoples experience/banks as it's known that some players were innocently banned.

Yeah!

We need to bot bust those criminals on chaos druids!

Its so obvious they're bots that they dont even pick up low level unids, everytime I pick up unids that they leave behind its always Guams, Marrentils or Tarromins, like 95% of the time. I presume that that's because they read item IDs instead of names.

And besides that, I'm currently a low level herbalist, and having to not compete with 4+ bots in every single world would be really good.

Okay so...... I've honestly posted on forums for like a MONTH straight asking for my account to be looked at due to it being banned in the FIRST wave of wrongful bannings...

I appealed a MONTH ago sent, emails a MONTH ago NO responses. Thanks Mods. You get an essay on here from people crying and they get un banned in 10 minutes.

The account is also PERMANENTLY banned while the ban periods now are 21DAYS?
Getting lenient on bots when you got bot watch but when you went around manually banning anyone you saw woodcutting they got PERMANENT bans.

Picking favorites, ignoring others, getting lenient on actually bots caught botting . Illogical.

Banned April 3, first wave of bannings they admitted that many were legit players.
NO RESPONSE. Posted everywhere, appealed, emailed a MONTH ago.

Account Name : Tzhaar Blu/ Blu V used to love woodcutting, BE FAIR,

It awesome to see bot slow disappearing from non-combat skill areas, but there are still many bots at popular combat training areas. I've notice that there are at three bots at the yaks in each world most of the time. This can be annoying for many players, such as myself, to try and train at these spots. Will there be bot bans to combat training spots soon?

Mod Weath, I was in world 304 I believe it was, today, and I seriously could NOT cut a yew tree log period. There were approximately 15 or more goldfarming bots on these yew trees by the flax field. They all followed each other in lines, and there were like so many walking that it was like death dots on every square walking. I reported a lot there. There may have been 2 or maybe 3 that might not have been a bot, but the rest were very obvious goldfarmers. I just wanted to let you know about this area. It is always bad there.

There seem to be a crazy number of bots at the TzHaar Fight Caves. Would be awesome if they could get a high priority. (Like the QBD bots a while back? ^^)
